Sample Grading Scales:
Chad Terrill Link: http://www.charleston.k12.il.us/cms/Teachers/BealsN/7grade.htm School: Charleston Middle School, IL Age Range: 7th Grade Pros: Students have a point range system to follow based on the number of errors occurred for that timing. Cons: Total errors over words entered correctly is based on a percentage.
Alyssa Anttila Link: http://www.brittonkill.k12.ny.us/fortunatoweb/6thgrade/keyboarding/keyboardrubric.pdf School: Tamarac Secondary School (Brunswick/Brittonkill Central School District) Age Range: 6th grade Pros: WPM timing ranges are clearly defined for each semester. Semester WPM requirements pushes students to improve their speed. Simply add up the scores for each category to get an overall total/grade. Very simplistic design. Cons: The rubric does not factor in the number of "acceptable" errors. No area for additional comments. Could possibly include a category for effort or ability to stay on task.
Pros: The scale changes as the students have more practice. Shows student progress.
Cons: Does not say how errors are factored in to score.
